In Final Fantasy XIV, players can use the market board to buy and sell tons of goods. But how to save some FFXIV Gil in this process? Here are 10 tips to help you successfully use the market board and get the best prices or make extra Gil.
1. Double Check Everything About An Item
One thing players have found is some materials or items can be bought or obtained easily. But the market board will sell these items for much higher than their normal price. Therefore, players should know everything there is to know what item they're interested in the most and how much it's actually worth.
2. Stay Up To Date By Using The App
The game is constantly going through updates and events to vary, especially from server to server. To keep a closer check, install the Final Fantasy XIV app to track the market board.
3. Check Each Seller Multiple Times
The best thing players can do when shopping for materials or items is to check the board throughout the day. Sellers will constantly try to underprice each other, especially during busy times of the day. Use this to your advantage to get cheap items.
4. Buy The Item Instead Of Crafting It
Some materials will be cheap. Therefore, it may just be best for those trying to level up a crafting class to buy the item you are trying to make to complete the quest instead of stocking up on the crafting recipe's ingredients.
5. Watch Out For Unsellable Items
There are tons of items out there that players can't sell on the market board for various reasons. For example, items from a special questline or event won't be tradable. Items used in a house or have spirit bonded will also be stuck with their respective owners/players.
6. Never Take Gold
When doing quests, always take the items even if you offer gold pieces. This is because most quest armor and tools can be sold on the market board for much more than a player would earn by taking the pieces.
7. Greed More
Another quick way to make money is by doing dungeon runs and greed the items that the other players don't want. . This way, players can earn a profit while still leveling up.
8. Sell Crafted Items
A fast way to make money is by selling crafted goods. Almost every crafting class can easily make money, especially once they can make higher-level items.
9. Remember That All The Boards Are Connected
Another thing that players should note is that all the boards are connected. You can send your retainer to the most popular towns on your server to make more money.
10. Make a Retainer
To make a profit, players will need to have a retainer. Retainers will hold Gil in their account until they're withdrawn, and players must manually update prices.
